Thread: Discovery designation question

Can't tell you the specific dates, but you had

Discovery 1 - The original and best
Discovery 2 - Had new body panels, TD5 and a bigger tail behind the axle
Discovery 2 Update - had the new style rangie headlights
Discovery 3 - What you see on the net, will get here eventually [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Discovery 1 covers both the original, and the update that arrived in March 94. These two are usually distinguished by their diesel engines as either 200 or 300. Discovery 2 was the model that arrived with the TD5 and the slightly longer body overall that was developed to allow the third row seats to face forwards, instead on inwards as on Discovery 1.

Some people have mentioned in the past the we should refer to the original (200tdi) as Series 1, the update (300tdi) as Series 1a, and Td5 as Series 2 (which it is). Seems to makes sense in that perculiar Landrover way. :wink:
